    I know

    I mean the fighers would have to be from the same place respectively

    usa =

    ward - dirrell - green - miranda - bika - jermain taylor

    europe =

    aa - kessler - froch - bute - stietglitz - andrade


    It would have to be something like this.... fighters who normally fight in the states would fight in the states

    fighters who normally fight in the uk would fight in the uk...

    things would be more neutral this way

    That could work yeah, but it would also narrow down the options available for a tournement as their is not alot of divisions where mainly American or europeans dominate. There's usually fighters that are hyped by the media and fans from both areas, like you could make a tournement with the 140 division based only on the people who fight out of America but the Brits would say that it isn't the best in the division if it doesn't include Khan(I know he fights out of their now, just using him to make my point) and vice versa with Americans.

    yeah man, and then the winners of the two would go on and fight each other in a big money fight in Las Vegas.

    I don't like the round robin style personally, but that's me.

    I love it man. Cause styles make fights.

    it would suck if 1 loss = you're eliminated from the tournament. but you still need knockoffs at the final stages because real champions step it up when it counts the most.

    Of course. The Super 6 is one of the best things to come to boxing in years. I hope that this isn't the only one.

    I'd day this tournament is an amazing success even more so because of the controversy. Im really looking forward to the next fight camp 360 to see all the reaction. Also the fighter that emerges as the winner of this is tourney is going to be seriously top drawer. Even now every fighter still has a shot at winning. Froch has his chance against kessler. Abraham is massively dangerous with that power. Dirrell has the slickness that makes crowds ooh and aah and ward had that solid boxing ability.

    Froch wins vs dirrell. Abraham the favourite gets dominated by direll. The whole thing has been blow wide open again with slight favouries dirrell and ward.
